Liberians await results of presidential elections [The Morning Call]

Votes are being counted across Liberia to determine the country’s next president and legislators.

Unofficial reports from the Liberia Broadcasting System suggest a runoff may be likely as ex-footballer George Weah

and current Vice President Joseph Boakai are said to be leading. A provincial declaration is expected Friday,

however, the electoral body has until October 25 to declare a winner or announce a runoff for the presidency.

A candidate must get at least 50 percent of the vote to be declared the winner.
